Call of the wild: Man in hot tub rings 911 for towels and comfort

It sounds like an outtake from Hot Tub Time Machine: A homeless man near Portland, Ore., calls 911 on his cell phone, saying he's the sheriff and has been in a hot tub for 10 hours. He asks for "medical help": dry towels, hot chocolate with marshmallows — and a hug.

Beaverton police responded by giving Mark Eskelsen a ride to jail. He was charged with second-degree criminal trespass and improper use of the 911 system, The Oregonian reports.
